SO MANY THINGS HAPPENED THIS WEEK

• My PR to add color preview got merged in DEV

  Fix #4106: Showing color preview in Edit Profile #4212

  What type of PR is this? (check all applicable)

  • [ ] Refactor
  • [x] Feature
  • [ ] Bug Fix
  • [ ] Documentation Update

  Description

  This is Fix For #4106. The current color-picker does not show a preview so it is hard to guess the color contrast. I added a preview (screenshot added below) which shows your selected colors.

  Also, Added a <input type="color"> which makes it is easy to select the color.

  Since there are other pages that depend on 'color-picker' class I did not change anything in colorPicker.js or any of the styles of current color-picker. I created a new file colorPreview.js and some new classes in html.

  Mobile & Desktop Screenshots/Recordings (if there are UI changes)

  • [ ] readme
  • [x] no documentation needed

  [optional] What gif best describes this PR or how it makes you feel?

  My first PR To DEV! I was not very sure if I could do this or not since DEV's codebase is probably the largest codebase I've ever worked on but now I'm super proud of myself to complete this 🌻

  Me showing this code to everyone :

• My PR to add WebApp configs merged in REACT so you can now Add to Homescreen react's documentation!
  

  WebApp manifest added to allow users "Add to Homescreen" documentations #2377

  

  saurabhdaware commented on Sep 30, 2019

  This solves issue #2259

  Then

  

  Currently there is not manifest set for the website so logo is blank and title is set as a name. Also the color of URL bar in chrome is plain white. Here's how it will look after this PR.

  Now

  

  Image 1 is to show the new color of URL bar in chrome Image 2 is the screen after selecting "Add to homescreen" Image 3 is the splash screen after opening it as WebApp

  I've added color to the URL bar, Configured name, short_name and other properties. and added a logo file in src/images/react_logo.png (Needed 512px png logo so had to add a new logo)

  This is my first contribution here so I'm sorry if I missed out on something
